Not Exactly Puppy Love

(My boyfriend and I are discussing why people risk a lot in a relationship, when there is a very high chance of the relationship ending.)
 
Boyfriend: “I don’t know. I guess it’s just like how you didn’t mind getting into a relationship with me, in spite of the inherent risk involved.”
 
Me: “I never felt there was any risk involved in being with you. I have always trusted you. You felt that this was a risky business, getting into a relationship with me, didn’t you?”
 
Boyfriend: “What! No! I adopted you when you were a small puppy and trained you to be my girlfriend. Obviously there was no risk.”
